Upcoming Patches

Path of Exile's next major patch is not 0.10.9, as many people expect. Due to relatively important upcoming changes, the patch we will be deploying on approximately May 29 is labelled 0.11.0 and represents the second phase of Path of Exile's Open Beta.

Some expected changes in 0.11.0 are:

More party loot allocation options

Direct melee buffs

Rebalance of monster damage

Improved resync code. The scope of this patch doesn't include the more complex changes to the action prediction system, but will hopefully prevent deaths by resyncing more aggressively when needed.

Some secret awesomeness that I'm not able to reveal just yet. It's bigger than the other changes in the patch.

As mentioned above, this patch is just over two weeks from deployment. I expect we'll be able to share full details closer to the time (as they get locked in).

In the meantime, there will be some interim patches such as 0.10.8b and 0.10.8c which will contain bug fixes, new Unique items and whatever 0.11.0 features are ready for early deployment.

We've also posted an upcoming change to how certain orbs work. We'd like your feedback!

No, no. According to the mass trolls around here, these issues are being intently ignored and shall never be addressed. Now, please, stop with the lies and give us the real patch details.

Read the directions and directly you will be directed in the right direction.
